Description
In May 2021, the National Nuclear Data Center (NNDC) was designated by the US Department of Energy Office of Science (SC) as a Public Reusable Research (PuRe) Data Resource. The DOE defines "PuRe Data Resources are data repositories, knowledge bases, analysis platforms, and other activities that make data publicly available to enable better communication, better stewardship, and better science." The NNDC is the only PuRe resource in SC's Nuclear Physics program. Such a designation is a source of great pride for the NNDC, but comes with numerous conditions, obligations and opportunities. In this talk, we will outline the NNDC's progress towards implementing the requirements of being a PuRe resource: the generation of Document Object Identifiers for all NNDC managed libraries, modernization of the NNDC website, modernization of the underlying library infrastructure, and development of a robust data preservation strategy.
